It has been established that oil pipelines never operate in one mode with the maximum efficiency (defined by the project). The pipelines operate in the modes of a different efficiency, which is very often much lower than the potential output and this can be caused by irregular oil deliveries by oil-producing companies, a change in the freight flow, withdrawal for the repair of the portion of oil-transfer units and the removal of faults in the linear part, etc. In this case it is required to control operating conditions in oil transfer systems to maintain the mode specified by the chart of operating practices (COP). This paper analyzes the control tools of the parameters of oil pumps designed for oil-trunk pipelines in Ukraine. It is shown that the operation of the systems of oil – trunk pipelines faces many technological problems related to the choice of energy-efficient operating conditions due to the irregular oil transfer for the specified time period. Available methods of the control of operating conditions for the ²pump equipment-oil trunk pipeline² system have many drawbacks that should be taken into account during their selection at the design stage or operation in specific conditions. A promising energy-efficient technique was suggested to control the operating conditions of superchargers, which is based on the minimization of drive power input and the assurance of the maximum values of efficiency factor.
